Island Style Boho Chic Resin Tiki Tribal Large Drum End or Accent Table

By Casa Bique

Located in Topeka, KS

Awesome Island style Boho Chic resin Tiki Tribal large drum end or accent table somewhat in the style of Casa Bique. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. We have touched up a few nicks. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century. Nothing gets you moving quite like the beat of a drum! And though technically, you won’t be dropping a beat with this drum table, it’s sure to get your adrenaline motivated!! Take another look at this gorgeous Tiki Tribal drum end or accent table in the style of Casa Bique Ltd.!!! Although, we think it possibly IS Casa Bique since it came from a home with two other pieces that are labeled as such AND it exudes details indicative of the high style designs produced by Casa Bique Ltd., but either way, it is MAGNIFICENT!! Originally from the Philippines and now it’s here to grace your home with all of its Island and a little Boho chic Style! The whole table is comprised of hand-crafted resin, and it has a removeable top, so you have a secret compartment to stash blankets, linens, books, or whatever!! The base is covered in carved Tikis and tribal designs, wrapped in realistic faux rope design at the base and around the drumhead of the table, and a brown leather-look faux drumhead. It is going to be the perfect Island accent to your boho chic living room, next to a lounge chair in your sitting room, or any room in your beach home, Industrial loft, or Floridian Lanai. This could also go outside on a covered patio or porch. Listen…Do you hear that? It’s the beat of the Island drum...

Antique and Vintage Patio and Garden Furniture

Whether you're sitting around a firepit, playing games or enjoying a meal, outdoor furniture is crucial for a successful social gathering.

We’ve come a long way from the rudimentary patio and garden furniture of yore, which, in the Ancient Roman and Greek eras, meant stone slabs. Back then, your grandiose patch of outdoor greenery was a place to relax and admire the manicured hedges and fruit orchards. Fortunately, advancements in the design of outdoor furniture as well as the burgeoning of artisan landscape designers have made it easier to do so since then.

The need for outdoor chairs, tables and benches to withstand varying weather conditions means that many contemporary offerings prioritize durability over form. For a touch of glamour in your garden, antique and vintage pieces from France or Italy, which have already proven they can stand the test of time, can introduce an elegant sensibility to your outdoor space.

In the late 1940s, Hawaii-based architect Walter Lamb began fashioning outdoor furniture from nautical rope and metal tubing rescued from sunken Pearl Harbor ships. Although his designs were originally intended as gifts for returning GIs, his creations gained such popularity that they were picked up by the then-new Brown Jordan furniture company of California.

Lamb’s adventurous creations inspired many designers who followed. The seating and tables crafted by other mid-century furniture makers noted for their seminal patio and garden works — a list that includes Hendrik Van Keppel and Taylor Green, Russell Woodard and Woodard Furniture, Maurizio Tempestini and Richard Schultz — remain highly sought after by collectors today.

Whether it’s wicker couches for your screened porch or wrought-iron armchairs for fireside drinks, find the antique and vintage patio and garden furniture you need to wind down the day or welcome the morning sun on 1stDibs.
